Hey Product Hunters! It’s that time again—we’re excited to share an update on what we’ve accomplished over the past six months! With your support, we’ve grown to over 190,000 users, all while completely bootstrapping our product. ♥️
Revamped Sitemap generator – we’ve made it faster and more versatile for importing various types of websites. Now, you can crawl websites in the background while working on another project.
New Content planner – you can store files, add images, and edit text content for each page. This year you will explore amazing new addons and features that will deliver next-level user experience in content planning.
New Publish feature – turn your sitemap into a Notion-like website. It's a perfect knowledge base for your company, product description, or for other content sharing.
Artboard Attachments – you can now add files, images, and spreadsheets that remain visible within your sitemap at all times.
Figma Plugin Love – our Figma plugin helps designers instantly connect their work in Octopus with Figma. The community loves it—it has already reached over 6,400 users!
Thank you for making this happen! 🙌 In Q3 2024, we started refactoring our code to make Octopus even faster than before. Performance updates will start rolling out soon—stay tuned!
Oh. My. Goodness. As a web designer who's spent countless hours manually mapping out site structures, this just made me want to happy dance in my chair! 🐙✨
You know that feeling when you're trying to understand a client's existing website structure, or planning a new one, and you're drowning in sticky notes and messy diagrams? That's been my life for YEARS! Then along comes this magical octopus that does it in 30 SECONDS?!
The sheer joy of watching a complete sitemap materialize before my eyes is indescribable. It's like having a super-powered assistant that instantly understands and visualizes website architecture. No more squinting at spreadsheets or wrestling with complex mapping tools!
What really touches my heart is how this tool respects and values our time as creators. Those hours we used to spend on manual mapping can now go into actual creative work and strategic thinking. It's not just about saving time - it's about giving us space to be better at what we do.
The visual approach is absolutely brilliant. There's something so satisfying about seeing a website's structure laid out so clearly and beautifully. It's like suddenly having x-ray vision for websites! And offering a free tier? That's just incredibly generous and community-minded.
This isn't just another SEO tool - it's a sanity-saver for anyone who works with websites. Whether you're a designer, developer, content strategist, or site owner, this is like having a secret superpower in your toolkit.
You've taken something that was traditionally painful and time-consuming and turned it into something almost magical. That 4.8/5 rating speaks volumes about how much this tool means to the community.
Thank you for making this! You're not just building a tool; you're giving creators back their most precious resource - time. Keep innovating, keep creating, you beautiful digital cephalopods! 🌊💫
Hey guys
The sitemap generator made me sign up to a paid account!
However, when in the paid account, I see no option for the sitemap generator. It seems that it only runs on the free account?
This is such an impressive update! Hitting 190,000 users while bootstrapped is no small feat, huge respect for that🫡. The revamped sitemap generator and Figma plugin integration sound like real workflow boosters, especially for teams juggling design and content planning.
Congrats on the launch!
Best wishes and sending lots of wins to the wins :) @karlplaude
Two valuable promises - speed and visual planning for about its collaborative capabilities and export options. All the best for product launch.
Couldn't have come out at a better time I'm literally creating a sitemap today for my companies site! Congrats on the launch will definitely give it a try today!
Neat improvements! The background website crawling is a huge boost for multitasking, and the Content planner plus Figma integration should really streamline workflows. Looking forward to giving it a spin!
YES! have been looking for a sitemap visualizer for a while now. thanks for bringing it out to the world. added to my tech stack!
I barely see on the PH products for a clear website structure. This is something that we lacked here because some websites are a mess because of a lack of designing. Wish you a good luck for today's launch (and in general with the product). :)
